Fade's are useless !!!!!!!!!!!

man this stoopid fade out with audio from any random place is just complete rubbish, it makes this programme totally useless.

...except it won't make right turns...
do you need right turns in the UK? .. ok, kiddin'...
back to level "Start"..
...this stoopid fade out with audio from any random place...
so, you did trash the .plist?... this is for "resetting" iM....
and I understand you correctly:
you add an audio fade to a clip; but then, you hear in that fade some audio from other parts of the clip?? never heard of that...
have you tried that "rubberband" feature to adjust audio-levels?
quoting the tutorial (http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/im3-3.html)
To place a soft fade at the new song ending, select Show Clip Volume Levels from the View menu. Your song will now show a line indicating it has a constant audio level setting for the entire song. To fade the end of the song, click the end of the clip level line and drag it to the bottom of the clip. Notice only the end of the line changes, indicated by the yellow color. This shows the volume is fading out at the new end of your song.

let's hope, someone else joins this thread....
sorry, I'm no help...

Hey there Logic Pro21,
It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
Start Logic with a different project template
Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Isolate an issue by using another user account
For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
Reinstall Logic Pro X
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
Open the Mac App Store
Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I was transferring data from my old iMac to my new iMac via Time Machine. After about 4 hours, the electrical power fluctuated and turned off my wi-fi. Now most of my necessary programs are useless. How do I erase and start over?

I ended up having them call me then was able to give them 1 of my secret questions right and they reset things so I could reset all my secret questions.
Try going into contact support and see if you can schedule a call. There seems to be some issues with peoples' id's and this update. iTunes thought that I'd never bought anything from my computer or device before, and I clearly had, so it's like it got confused. THen I tried to get my questions reset, but the mail never came, which is why I just got a phone call because I felt it was 'real person' time.

Which of the in-built programs are useless to you?

In an E-series phone, there are many a program that come bundled with the phone, a few of which you might have never used for some reasons. An unused program might be simply useless to you, or it might be lacking the specific functionality you want, or the way it performs a certain task might be annoying, or its interface might be ugly, or its functionality might be limited, or a better third party alternative might be available, or there may be another reason. I's just wondering how many bundled programs just go unused as I found a number of them to be useless for one reason or another (I have an E71). These include the following (I might add more later) with brief reasons for why I don't use them:
About (not so interesting to be usable multiple times)
Activation Keys (don't know what they are; probably don't need to know either)
Active Notes (I find simple text "Notes" sufficient for my needs)
Device Manager (I ain't advanced enough to understand it)
Calculator (not easy to use; no scientific or advanced mathematical functions; it's an insult to the processor)
Encryption (I'm afraid of using it, yes, my own paranoia)
Facebook (do not need to use this app)
Folders like Documents, Games, Images, Installed files, Other, Sound clips, and Video clips (I have arranged my data in the folders of my choice; unfortunately, I cannnot delete the folders Nokia imposed over me but I never use them)
Front camera (so few people in my contact list like to use the video calls; and I haven't yet found any app to access this camera while not on a video call)
Gallery (doesn't let me control what data I want in there)
IM (do not need to use it)
Internet Radio (I prefer a third party one)
Internet Telephone (do not need to use it)
Lotus Notes email something (it kept reinstalling even after I removed it; had to delete its installer from C drive manually, not visible in the built-in file manager)
Modes (I remain in one mode)
Music Player (doesn't let me control what files I want in there)
Music Store (do not need to use this app; I prefer a bigger system over a phone for music)
My Nokia (never opened it)
MySpace (do not need to use this app)
OVI Store (I prefer using it via browser; the app always seems to keep updating itself)
Podcasting (do not need to use this app)
Printers (I prefer to use a computer for printing tasks)
PTT (do not need to use it)
Search (do not need to use it)
Setting Wizard (used once)
Share Online (don't need to use it)
Switch (I always remain in one mode)
Sync (I prefer to sync manually, file by file)
Tutorial (used once)
Worldmate (what is this? Demands my info without even telling me what it is. Yes I CAN search on the web about it, thanks for suggesting)
YouTube (do not need to use this app)
Do you also feel there are some unusable programs in your phone? Would you mind sharing? Thank you.

Doesn't every single phone on the market contain un-removable apps that are useless to some people but useful to others? Personally I just stick the stuff I don't use in a folder and move it somewhere I won't see it as often.
Do you actually have a support issue or are you just moaning about the old obsolete version of the operating sysyem in your new old phone again?

Anyone noticed that with new upgrade, alarm settings are useless?

Before the 07 upgrade, I had several different alarm settings. For work, I have one that goes off at 6 am M-F. I turn it to ON Sunday night, and then OFF Friday night. Monday through Friday mornings, all I had to do was Stop the alarm for the day, and the alarm itself would still be set to go off Tuesday through Friday mornings.
Now, with the new upgrade, the alarm settings are useless. When my alarm goes off in the a.m. I have to now actually go to that alarm page and slide the settings for the week to OFF. That means that I now have to physically turn the alarm ON and OFF every day. Not a tragedy, but this is not an intended "feature" of the new 07, I am sure. I have reduced different alarms down to 2; Weekend 8 am; and Weekdays 6 am; and have to retrain my brain that I now have to remember to turn my alarm on every night before I go to bed.

Did you try tapping on the refresh button at the bottom of the contacts app - on the main page on the left side - the page that shows the list of all of your groups?... like Exchange, iCloud, whatever contacts sources that you have in the contacts app.
I use Exchange for my contacts and that is what I chose in the Settings>Mail>Contacts>Default Account>Exchange and I chose Exchange contacts in the mail settings as well.

Safari and Google Maps are useless

Safari and Google Maps invariably quit and return to the home screen. They are essentially useless. I tried to empty the cache and history...no luck. I then tried a reset and when it restarted got a message to please connect to iTunes. iTunes told me my phone needed to be restored. A progress bar indicated it was extracting some software and then it was preparing the iPhone for restoration. After some time I got an unknown error message (1603) that said it was unable to restore. I am looking at it as it sits uselessly in the dock with nothing but the apple icon showing. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have a solution? Should I just return it to the Apple Store.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

James, I'm sorry to say buddy, but you might just have a defective product. If restoring doesn't work there really isn't much more you could do. You can ether wait for the next update, and hope that would fix it, or just take it back to the store and exchange it. You have 30 days from the day of purchase to return the item. Thats my recommendation. GL

To say BT are useless would be and overestimation

Ive left BT as my broadband and calls package is going up and according to the terms on the email i got I can:
If this change means you want to end your service, you can do that by telling us within ten days of receipt of this email without needing to pay a charge for ending your contract early
so after arguing that its going up with the customer service team who say its not going up i have to show everyone this:
Unless I'm living in some weird BT fantasy land that says its going up!
So isnt it great when they send you this today now I've moved
What you'll pay
You'll need to pay £148.66 for stopping your BT services. This includes:
Charges for ending your contract early - Because you're stopping your service before the end of your contract, you'll need to pay £99.66 for the remaining months.
Charge for your equipment - You'll need to pay £49.00 for your outstanding equipment charges. You can find out more about this under 'Deferred payment for equipment' at bt.com/terms
What a useless company BT are if it I can't leave under the T&C's they have provided me with then the'yve missold me broadband and calls and changed T&C's without informing customers or updating websites.
When I took out my broadband and calls package I got the offer of a "free" router. Its not free if BT are asking me to pay for it, is it. That is certainly missing selling
Off to Ofcom I go.

Did you give BT 14 days notice of cancellation, after receiving the letter about the price increases, or did you simply cancel without the 14 day notice period?
As the letter have only recently gone out, I would be surprised if you received yours over 14 days ago.
From T&Cs
"If you are switching to another provider through an approved process, the notice you must give us will be 14 days"
There is not a lot of point continuing this thread, but I just wondered what you had done, as it may be a warning to others who may ignore the period of notice.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

IOS6 maps are useless, and other observations

Well Apple, I'm not sure what happened here - but it seems like you hired some engineers that must have been fired by Microsoft.
Seriously, your new map app is a COMPLETE JOKE, and is simply useless. Did you even bother to beta test it? Obviously if the product is THIS bad, it should still be in beta, and we should still be using Google Maps until you at least get Apple Maps *working*.
KEY ISSUES (and I know I'm not alone here)
1) Poor detail. Lack of street name.
2) Missing traffic data - you show RED bars only, while YELLOW is also very useful.
3) Crashes
4) Search feature does not spell check correctly or come up with similar local addresses like Google maps does. Frequently, Apple maps can't find an address at all.
5) Trip router is a JOKE. No way to skip freeways, and no transit inormation. Trip router will take the LONGEST WAY using freeways instead of a far shorter rout using surface streets.
6) Usability is lame - for instance, you do a search, then click the rouut trip button, and... the trip rout does not use the item you just searched for. If you want to update the rouut from your most currrent location, there is no edit button, and you have to cancel, and scroll into recents etc etc.
7) There is no separate tab vfor routed directions and searched.
8) S L O W
9) WRONG
Google Maps WAS the most used app on my iPhone next to Pandora. Now, MAPS is useless. By upgrading my iPhone to iOS6, I have degraded my iPhone and rempved some of it's most important

Printer deskjet 2540. start up. instructions are useless, help please

I've just bought a new HP deskjet 2540, instructions are worse than useless, where do I get a wireless test report, and where is the resume button???

Hi @geordygit ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you want to generate a wireless test report as well as know how to resume printer function. We can help with that!
First , please follow these documents to address your network configuration: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP Deskjet 2540 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2... & Printing a Network Configuration Page.
Also, here is a view of the printer's front panel with descriptions of the buttons and lights. I am not able to locate a resume button. Other models have a feature that allows resume when you open and close the lid. You can try that to see if it works:

Themes are useless after the latest GTK3 update - Theme parsing errors

Hi!
I have this problem, all my themes became useless.
The main problem was the url format in the gtk.css and gtk-widgets.css files, there were "url (" but only "url(" works. I fixed it in some themes, but still none of them are working correctly. I still get error messages like this:
Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:598:21: Expected ')'
here are only tabulators
or like this:
Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:378:41: Expected valid border
there's a correct url to an existing image
What should I do?

I have this too after tonight's update to gtk3.2 and I'm guessing its a bug so hopefully someone more experienced with gtk3 is already on it.
I've got work in the morning so can't really look into it but if its not fixed by wednesday I'll give it my best shot.
TBH I'm starting to get sick of gtk breaking things.
With GNOME 3.2 almost upon us there is some bad news about theme support. The current themes for GNOME Shell and GTK3 will probably break in 3.2, so I'll yet again have to adapt them. 3.2 will add much needed features in GTK 3, like border image, which will make themes look better.
On the positive side as said though, GNOME 3.2 will be better for making themes.
So I would guess the themes just need tweaking. I'll look into it when I have more time.

Transition fade outs are picking up audio

Whenever I want to add a fade out to a movie clip, rather than the audio fading out with the picture, the audio for the duration of the transition is often a clip of the audio from that particular movie clip. I have tried trashing the p-list, and I have also tried erasing some of the problem footage and re-capturing it, but to no avail. This happens to at least I'd say 75% of my movie clips, and I can't seem to solve it. Sometimes the audio in the transition is audio from the very end of the clip I am fading out of (i.e. it loops it), and sometimes it's just from a random point somewhere in that particular clip, but then on a couple of occasions, the fade out is actually audio from a totally different clip.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation....

Hi C
Just one thought: I do like this
• select clip or clips before applying a transition so that they are selected
• Up on Advance Menu - down to Extract audio
• Now apply the transition after or between the clips
• Now fix the audio by letting it fade out or as You like it
Yours Bengt W

Open and Save dialogue boxes are useless

I have recently moved from Windows to Mac after being told I would never look back and I am already 'looking back' somewhat in terms of the OS. I work with photos and graphics and I'm on the move a lot so went for a Mac Book Pro Retina with SSD and I am not going to lie it is lightning quick and the display is beautiful. But when it comes to saving and opening workflow it does not work how I expected it would.
It seems such a simple thing but you cannot rename files from within mac open and save dialogue boxes. I'm so used to right clicking on a PC to create a new folder, hit F2 or right click and hit rename to rename to what I want then save the file into that new folder. You can also directly edit the name of the files and folders from within the open save dialogue box. If you right click on a mac you can create a new folder but it defaults to the name 'untitled folder' and you then can't change it's name. It find it unbelievable that you can not do this on a MacOS! So unbelievable that I went into an Apple store and spoke with someone there. When I showed them the problem they weren't even aware of it and pointed out I should just use finder. But that is not convenient if if you want to rename a new folder to then have to come out of the open save relocate in finder and change from there.
I know there is the new folder button down to the left hand side and you can rename the folder as soon as you create it using that but sometimes you may make a mistake and want to change it. Same with file names.
Why can't you do this on a Mac? It's crazy. After searching about, I came across the Default Folder X app which appears to fix this issue which isn't really that cheap for something I consider should be 100% native in any OS.
There are other issues that frustrate me from moving over from Windows to Mac (like the ability to snap windows to screen edges, Better Snap Tool fixed that for me at a much more reasonable price but still would have expected this to be native), which I know I will just have to get used to but this one really surprised me.
Considering I was promised so much in terms of better efficiency with work flow and ease of use overall there is still a lot that's left to be desired.

As Axeman1020 noted, the Mac OS is not Windows. Things are not going to be exactly the same. It's no different than if you went from Windows to Linux. So expect a month or so of getting used to a different OS. Once muscle memory gets used to the different keyboard commands, and just where things are in general and how they behave, it'll seem just as easy as Windows.
To answer some of your statements or questions:
It seems such a simple thing but you cannot rename files from within mac open and save dialogue boxes.
Renaming items in the Open or Save dialogue boxes are not what those are for. I know Windows allows it, but why? That's a function for the desktop so you can't accidentally change a file or folder name in a dialogue box that has nothing to do with opening a file or saving one. If opening a file, that's all you're doing. If saving, only the name of the file you're saving can be modified. That's what those dialogue boxes are for - nothing else.
Yes, you can give a file you're saving any name you like. You can even click on any name shown in the save dialogue box to give it that name if you want. You can also highlight the default name and change it.
If you right click on a mac you can create a new folder but it defaults to the name 'untitled folder' and you then can't change it's name.
Of course you can. Either highlight the folder and press Enter, or slowly click on the name twice. Either action will make the name editable.
When I showed them the problem they weren't even aware of it and pointed out I should just use Finder. But that is not convenient if you want to rename a new folder to then have to come out of the open save relocate in finder and change from there.
You're crossing over two different things. I believe you mean renaming a folder from the Save dialogue box. When you click the New Folder button, you have the opportunity to give the new folder any name you want before clicking Create.
If you type the wrong name, then yes, you have to finish the save before you can rename the folder. So either be sure you type the name in correctly before clicking Create, or change the misspelling afterwards. You're not saving any time fixing a typo within the Open dialogue box. It will take the same amount of extra time to do it there as opposed to fixing it on the desktop after you complete the save.
I know there is the new folder button down to the left hand side and you can rename the folder as soon as you create it using that but sometimes you may make a mistake and want to change it. Same with file names.
You are again trying to force a Windows feature into an OS that is not Windows. The Mac does some things that I wish Windows could do, and visa versa. However, you can't force any OS to do something it simply isn't designed to do. Expecting it to change by sheer willpower is only going to drive you crazy. You need to let go of what you want the OS to do as opposed to what it will do.
Considering I was promised so much in terms of better efficiency with work flow and ease of use overall there is still a lot that's left to be desired.
I find the Mac OS to be incredibly efficient. This from a person who has used Windows for many more years overall than the Mac OS. Yes, it took time to get used to how the Mac OS behaved. But rather than fighting it (which is pointless), I simply took the time to learn how to use it as it's designed.

How can I delete the update installation files? Or which files are useless and safe to delete?

ThinkVantage System Update application will find the appropriate updates, download them and install them. This is convenient. But when it finishes the updates, it will not clean the installation files it has downloaded, which I think are not useful any more since the update installation is completed, right?
I think the update appliction stores the downloaded files in the folder: C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ , this folder of mine is over 1.32GB big now. But I just don't know which files and subfolders in it are safe to delete.
Or rather, the preload system occupies a large space on the disk. Which files are no longer used and safe to delete?
Would any experts help with this? Thank you very much!
Norm

I've been experimenting. Now I figure it out. Automatic System Update downloads and stores files in C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ Sessions\, and in Sessions' subfolders, all files are not used once update is completed except those ending with .xml. Thus those unnacessary files are safe to delete.
This is what I find out so far.
Continuing to experiment.
